Perception Management????? July 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book certainly kept me jumping. The concept of "perception management" being used by factions in and out of our government is highly likely during this era. Some of the adventures of our hero were not so believable and the villain was at the far end of evil, with no remorse. It helps in books, because you can do that to the characters. I liked the idea. It made me think about some things going on now in our country. Food for thought book.
Improbable Characters July 26, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I like this author. His new book held me to the end, but I couldn't relate to the "super-sized" hero and the improbable story line. Some of his other books are much more entertaining. The plot in this book is weak.
Definitely a five star read July 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I really enjoyed this book tremendously, intelligent writing, interesting and intricate plot, excellent character development, and most of all, quite believable!
I highly recommend this one especially if you are an adventure-thriller fan. The way the various geographical events are tied in make for a fascinating reading.
A Wild, Wonderful Book Ride July 19, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is what a thriller should be!
Enjoyment plus education--"The Whole Truth" brings you into the military arms world and the interesting new field of perception management (making "truth" for a wealthy client by manipulating the media, especially via the Internet). In his recent bestseller (TWT), Baldacci serves a literary feast of: 1) fast-paced action around the Globe; 2) sharp, clever sentences like "Those experiences gave him armor for skin."; 3) Revenge served hot when the lover of Shaw (an elite anti-terrorist operator of the US Govt) is killed as collateral damage by the CEO of Ares Corporation, the maker of high-dollar military arms---Shaw begins his personal mission to collect the ultimate revenge. All the security a billionaire can afford cannot protect the CEO from the death sentence Shaw has given him.
Baldacci deserves five stars for TWT & I give it to him!
